NATURE OF BUSINESS
1. SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
Demand for factories and warehouses has been increasing substantially since 2010 and
throughout 2011, due to high manufacturing investment, especially in the auto sector. The
Company’s occupancy rate has grown continuously to over 90 percent at the end of 2011.
Demand for the Company’s warehouses in 2011 has almost doubled, as compared to the year
before, resulting in a 100 percent occupancy rate at some points of time. In response to the higher
investment expansion in Thailand, as well as the strong demand in leasing factories/warehouses,
TICON has acquired a number of plots of land in several strategic locations, particularly in the
eastern part of Thailand, where the Company’s factories/warehouses were almost fully leased out
at the end of last year.
In the fourth quarter of last year, TICON’s factories and warehouses located in Ayudhya and
Pathumthani provinces were affected by the flood disaster. TICON’s tenants in such areas could
not operate their business, which resulted in the Company’s loss of rental income in Q4/2011 and
Q1/2012. The Company expects that most of factories to be restored will be back in production
and income-producing within Q1/2012. However, thanks to the additional land acquisitions as
mentioned, TICON has benefited from strong investment demands flowing to the eastern Thailand.
TICON is likely to be affected by the reduction in dividend and management fee from TFUND, due
to flood-affected properties in TFUND’s portfolio.
2. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The Company is in the business of providing standard factories and logistics warehouses for rent
in industrial estates, industrial park and the other potential locations in Thailand. The factories are

and 8 warehouses (usable area totaling 19,600 square metres) from TICON and TPARK,
respectively. TICON and TPARK are not subject to any obligation to buy back these properties.
TICON and TPARK were selected as the property managers for all of the factories and
warehouses sold to TFUND. TICON and TPARK are entitled to property management fees from
TFUND.
TFUND has a policy to pay dividends of not less than 90 percent of net profit, which is not subject
to corporate income tax. The payment will be made at least twice a year. As at December 31,
2011, the NAV of TFUND was Baht 10.6310 per unit.
At the end of December 2011, TICON held 28.02 percent of TFUND’s total issued units.
TPARK Logistics Property Fund (“TLOGIS”)
TLOGIS, a listed mutual fund on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, was established in November
2009 for the purpose of investment in industrial properties owned by TICON/TPARK and/or other
developers. As well as TFUND, BBL Asset Management Company Limited was appointed as the
fund manager.

The sales of properties to TFUND and TLOGIS provide another source of fund for the Company’s
business expansion, in addition to funds from operating activities and various credit facilities.
Decisions as to whether to sell properties to TFUND or TLOGIS will be made by considering
relevant factors periodically, in order to maximize shareholder value. The Company plans to raise
funds through TFUND and TLOGIS continuously. This will help provide TICON with another
alternative in management of its capital structure.

TICON has invested in a Related Company, Bangkok Club Co., Ltd., amounting to Baht 256,500
in which TICON holds only 0.11 percent stake, for the purpose of using its facilities.
3. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
3.1 Products
a. Standard factories
TICON was established to provide international standard factories for international
companies who do not particularly want to develop their own factories, nor even to own
them, in order to reduce their operating cost and risks related to any possible
uncertainties. TICON chooses good locations and develops factories of a standard
design to suit most manufacturing processes. As more than 90 percent of the Company’s
tenants are international manufacturers, TICON provides customers with other services
in regard to commencing their production in Thailand.
The locations in which TICON develops factories are determined by customer demand,
now and in the foreseeable future. Accessibility to ports, airports and Bangkok are very
relevant in this respect, as are the BOI investment zones, as well as a good standard of
estate infrastructure.
The Company has developed factories in Export Processing Zone’s (“EPZ”) and General
Industrial Zone’s (“GIZ”), following customers’ demand, which will be different in each
location. Demand on Laemchabang Industrial Estate, for example, being adjacent to
Thailand’s major deep sea port, tends to be for factories in the EPZ.
The factories developed by TICON and EISCO are all single-storey with mezzanine
offices, constructed on their own fenced and landscaped sites, complete with guard
house, parking area and loading area. They are of a standard design, albeit modified to
suit the customers' requirements. Factory sizes range from 1,000 to 6,000 square
metres, with an average size range from 2,000 to 3,000 square metres. The factories'
floor loading capacities are in the range of 1 to 3 tons per square metre. The buildings
are of steel portal frame construction, to give maximum usable area unobstructed by
structural columns.
In addition to the standard factories, custom-developed factories are developed
according to tenants’ individual requirement, and will generally tend to be larger than
standard factories.

Lease agreements normally have a term of 3 years. TICON offers options to renew the
lease. Moreover, the Company also offers options to exchange the unit for one of
a different size or location, and even options to buy the factory.
Tenants are required to pay a cash deposit equivalent to 3-6 months rent.

b. Warehouses
Development warehouses with international standards is undertaken by TICON Logistics
Park Co., Ltd., (TPARK), one of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Logistics is the essential activity for the distribution of materials, parts, finished goods
and other produce. Distributors, whether they be the principal operators themselves or
logistic service providers, will normally be capital-lean in their logistics operation, and will
therefore prefer to lease warehouse facilities. This has created good demand for modern
logistics parks and warehouses which the Company seeks to supply through TPARK.
The Company’s warehouses are located in strategic locations, suitable for being a
distribution center. The warehouses are designed to suit modern logistics management
systems. Typical specifications are good clear heights, wide column spans, dock
levelers, and high floor loading capacities.
As with factories, we offer warehouses on a built-to-suit basis, as well as providing
speculatively-developed standard buildings. We also offer a sale and leaseback option.
Lease agreements normally have a term of 3 years. The Company offers options to
renew the lease. Tenants are required to pay a cash deposit equivalent to 3-6 months
rent.

4. REVENUE STRUCTURE
Presently, income from sales of properties to associated companies has become the biggest
portion of total revenues due to substantial sales of factories/warehouses to TFUND/TLOGIS each
year. However, since the Company’s main business is to provide factories/warehouses for rent,
the rental and service income still play an important role.
Both incomes combined contributed approximately 80-90 percent of the Company’s total
revenues. The Company also has other sources of income which are of portions varying each
year. Please see the analysis of change in revenue structure in “Management discussion and
analysis”.

5. VISION
The Company’s vision is to be the leading company in developing and providing rental services of
quality industrial properties with international standards by taking into account the social and
environmental impacts, as well as maximizing returns to the investors
ANNUALREPORT
2011
32
6. OBJECTIVES
The Company’s objective is to maintain its position as the leader in providing standard factories
and warehouses of international standard for rent, coupled with associated services, according to
tenants’ demand. Management with good corporate governance for the benefits of all stake
holders is also the Company’s objective.
7. INDUSTRY AND COMPETITION
7.1 Concept, demand/supply, and competition
7.1.1 Standard factories for rent
a. The concept of serviced factories
Industrial property development in Thailand is primarily involved with developing
industrial estates, providing the estate infrastructure, and selling plots of land for
the industrial users to construct their own factories.
The manufacturers might either allocate their capital to build their own factories
or lease in order to reduce their operating capital and risks related to any
possible uncertainties. To lease factories with associated services becomes
attractive for international manufacturers who want to run operation in Thailand
with no ownership in properties.
b. Supply
The developers who provide factory buildings for sale/rent can be classified into
two types which are;
¾ Industrial estates/parks developers who develop factory buildings on their
own industrial land; and
¾ Other developers who develop factory buildings on land purchased or
leased from the industrial land developers. The Company and its Subsidiary
are this kind of developer.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
33
c. Demand
Many foreign manufacturers do not want to develop their own factories, in order
to reduce their project capital and increase flexibility, especially in uncertain
times. Shortening product life cycles and more investor focus on return on capital
have added to the appeal of renting in the eyes of modern international industry.
Thailand is a good location for manufacturing investment as a result of its central
position of Asia. Moreover, there is a skilled labor force, and a good level of
physical and regulatory infrastructure, as well as beneficial regulations. The
growth of foreign direct investment in Thailand increases demands on factories
for rent.
d. Competition
At the present, there are few players in standard factory for rent market. Besides
TICON, there are Thai Factory Development Public Co., Ltd., Hemraj Land and
Development Public Co., Ltd., Amata Summit Ready Build Co., Ltd., and
Pinthong Industrial Park Co., Ltd.
However, only TICON has concentrated on development of factories for rent.
TICON’s competitive advantages are its sole focus on providing factories and
warehouses for rent, the multiple locations they can offer, the services they have
developed to assist its customers. Moreover, the Company’s 20 years of
experience in this business and a share of more than 60 percent of the
ready-built factory market resulted in the benefits of economies of scale.
7.1.2 Warehouses for rent
a. The concept of warehouses
In Thailand, the cost of logistics management is currently high as compare with
other countries, which restricts the country’s competitiveness. Improving the
effectiveness of logistics management will result in lower supply chain costs,
which eventually reduces prices of goods and services. In addition, an efficient
logistics infrastructure will encourage foreign direct investment.
Warehouses play an important role in the logistics system. International standard
warehouses will improve efficiency of the entire logistics system.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
34
There has been substantial increase in the number of logistics service providers.
The logistics service providers, who have specific areas of expertise, have
played important roles in logistics management business. Many producers,
wholesalers and retailers, and manufacturers tend to outsource their logistics
management instead of setting up their own related functions.
However, the principal businesses and the logistics service providers normally
have a policy not to own their warehouses. Seeking returns on real estate is not
their main business operation. The logistics service providers tend to limit their
investment to essential assets which enhance the company’s competitiveness,
including vehicles, equipment and information technology systems, as well as
training personnel. Investment in real estate, especially without expertise, incurs
fixed costs for a long time which will increase risk in the event that their
customers terminate contracts. For these reasons, the logistics management
industry looks to the real estate sector to provide logistics warehouses for rent.
b. Supply
Presently, logistics warehouses are mainly concentrated outside Bangkok and
surrounding areas. Many of the warehouses are located on the Asia Highway,
Bangna-Trad Road and Rama II Road. Most of these warehouses were not
designed for modern distribution systems. In addition, proper infrastructure has
not been provided to support logistics management operation. Besides, many of
the warehouses are located in residential and mixed use areas which cause
problems in terms of safety, congestion and pollution.
c. Demand
Demand for logistics warehouses are from the following sources.
1. Logistics service providers, most of which are multinational companies
which have expertise in logistics management with software and modern
management systems. The logistics service providers tend to lease
warehouses rather than owning them.
2. Operators who are involved in international distribution centres, international
procurement offices and modern distribution centres.
3. Manufacturers and major retailers who need distribution centers for the
distribution of their goods to their customers in Bangkok and other regions
ANNUALREPORT
2011
35
4. Exporters and importers who are interested in warehouses located near an
airport or seaport, especially in a duty free zone
5. Logistics supporting businesses including transportation service provider,
packaging service providers, value added creation providers (quality
inspection, label sticking, maintenance, assembly/packing), truck
maintenance providers, providers of temporary workers and carriers.
d. Competition
Presently, there are few providers of high quality warehouses in good locations.
Most available warehouses are of low quality and are in poor locations, as
mentioned above. The Company has an advantage over other warehouses
providers since its logistics warehouses projects are in good locations. The
quality of the warehouses, as well as the supporting infrastructure, are all of good
quality and of international standard.
7.2 Competition strategies for factories and warehouses
x Market positioning
According to a survey by CB Richard Ellis (Thailand) Co., Ltd., at the end of Q3/2011,
TICON had a total market share of 64 percent of the standard factories for rent market
under management (of which 34 percent were TFUND’s properties).
TICON has positioned itself as the major provider of factories for rent in Thailand. It is the
Company’s intention to retain and enhance this position by increasing the scale of
activities, thereby increasing the customer base, and benefiting from further economies
of scale and increasing returns.
The intended market position for the Company’s high quality logistics warehouses for
rent is the same as for factories for rent, which is to be the major provider.
x Target market
The target market for leased factory is component suppliers to large end product
manufacturers. However, the Company also seeks to custom-build for larger
manufacturers.
The target markets for leased warehouses are producers, wholesalers, retailers and
manufacturers, together with their logistic service providers.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
36
x Pricing
The level of rents the Company charges are more related to the cost of providing the
facilities than the rents competitors charge. The Company will, however, continue to
monitor the market to ensure that its rents are competitive, and that the standard of its
factories and services provided are superior.
x Promotion
The Company’s principal marketing activities involve direct approaches to potential
customers, and regular contact with a number of intermediaries, such as major
manufacturers (to accommodate their suppliers), Thai government agencies, foreign
embassies, Trade Missions, Chambers of Commerce, industrial estate developers, real
estate brokers and other intermediaries.
Marketing material includes the production of brochures, press advertising, an internet
website, signboards on all construction sites, billboards at expressway locations, and
selective mailing.
More proactive measures, such as participation in seminars, exhibitions and other
relevant meetings, both domestically and overseas, take place from time to time when
appropriate.
7.3 Industry outlook and future competition
7.3.1 Industry outlook
Demand for factories and warehouses on lease has continued to increase, following
the global economic recovery since late 2009, particularly with investment relocation
into Asian countries. In addition, the benefits to manufacturers of not having to invest
in fixed assets, but only in income-producing assets, will help support the demands
for leasing.
7.3.2 Competition
New competitors would have a high capital requirement, and would need
considerable time to develop factories with the locational, size and type diversification
comparable to the range TICON offers, as well as to develop the support services
currently provided by TICON.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
37
8. PRODUCTION
The Company builds its factories/warehouses on potential plots of land by its own design and
construction team. With its own team, the Company has a flexibility in managing construction and
can control the construction cost.
The main construction materials are steel and concrete. The Company is able to procure
construction materials of the same quality and price from several vendors.
ANNUALREPORT
2011

RISK FACTORS
1. RISK RELATED TO LEASE AGREEMENT CONSIDERED AS A SHORT-TERM
With regard to the Company's lease contracts mostly of 3 years term, with options to renew,
investors may be concerned about the customers' decisions on renewing the contracts.
However, once the tenants are in production in the factory, they will not tend to vacate it unless
there is good reason to do so. For this reason, the normal lease renewal rate is in excess of 80
percent.
The diversification of the Company's locations, as well as the customers' nationality and type of
business, helps reduce risk in relation to contract termination. Moreover, the factories/warehouses
are of standard design in popular estates and leasing out factories/warehouses where leases are
not renewed does not tend to be difficult.
2. RISK RELATED TO FACTORIES/WAREHOUSES LOCATED IN FLOOD-RISK AREA
In Q4/2011, the Company was affected by the floods in Ayudhya and Pathumthani provinces. Its
factories/warehouses located in such areas were damaged, following by the Company’s loss of a
certain amount of rent. Investor may be concerned that there might be a possibility of floods in the
future.
TICON has insured its properties, with cover including physical damages and business
interruption, to reduce impacts from the floods, if any. However, with its location diversification and
majority of properties in eastern Thailand, the Company is able to serve new demands, as well as
demands moving from flooded area to other areas considered secure. In addition, concrete dikes
are being constructed by industrial estate/park developers in the flooded areas, and by the
Company on its logistics park. The dikes are expected to be finished by September 2012, and
could be able to protect the properties in such areas.
The broadening of last year flood impacts has led the government to seriously improve water
management. The Company believes that the possibility of a repeat of serious flooding is minimal.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
39
3. RISK RELATED TO COMPETITION OF INDUSTRIAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS
At present, there are some industrial estate developers building factories for rent/sale. However,
those developers have developed factories for rent on their own estates while the Company’s
portfolio is diversified in 12 various locations. Moreover, with its own construction team and long
experience in this business, the Company has had advantages in serving tenants’ demands as
well as providing after-sale service to tenants. The Company also has economies of scale due to
its large portfolio.
4. RISK RELATED TO A DILUTION EFFECT FROM THE EXERCISE OFTICON-W3
In February, 2009, TICON offered 219,353,636 warrants to its existing shareholders
(“TICON-W3”). The exercise ratio is 1.03331 shares for 1 warrant, at the exercise price of Baht
19.355 per share. As at January 6, 2011, 219,349,803 warrants remain unexercised.
If all warrant holders exercise their rights and convert such warrants into ordinary shares, the
Company’s shareholders might be affected by dilutions of the share value and percentage of
shareholding, as follows:

5. RISK RELATED TO A DILUTION EFFECT FROM THE EXERCISE OFTICON-W5
In May, 2009, TICON offered 32,883,000 warrants to its directors and selected employees
(“TICON-W5”). 1 warrant is exercisable for 1.02905 ordinary shares, at a price of Baht 7.774 per
share. The first exercise date is June 29, 2012.
If all warrant holders exercise their rights and convert such warrants into ordinary shares, the
Company’s shareholders might be affected by dilutions of the share value and percentage of
shareholding, as follows:

6. RISK RELATED TO THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE EXERCISE PRICE AND EXERCISERATIO OF TICON-W3, TICON-W4 AND TICON-W5
In the event that, in the future, the Company offers the existing shareholders and/or the general
public any new securities which give rights to the holders to purchase or convert such securities
into the Company's ordinary shares, the adjustment of the exercise price and exercise ratio of
TICON-W3 and TICON-W5, in accordance with the conditions mentioned in the Company's
prospectus, might not completely compensate for lower benefits of the warrant holders. Such lower
benefits may occur because the adjustment formula is concerned only with the intrinsic value of
the warrants while the time value has not been taken into account.
7. RISK RELATED TO RELIANCE ON PARTICULAR BUSINESS SECTORS ANDNATIONALITIES OF TENANTS
At the end of 2011, 61 percent of the Company’s tenants were manufacturers from Japan, and 42
percent of the tenants were in the electronics/electrical sectors. The Company might be affected
from the slowdown of electronics/electrical sectors, or direct investment from Japan.
Anyhow, the customer in the electronic part segment is comprised of diversity of different business
area which is not directly related for example Hard disk drive segment/ general electronic
manufacturing service.
According to the investor from Japan, Thailand still is the first choice in Southeast Asia, hence risk
relate to only investor from Japan is in tolerance area.
Moreover, the standard type of factories can help serve the demands of various customers

8. RISK RELATED TO ABILITY TO LEASE OUT FACTORIES/WAREHOUSES INDEVELOPMENT PLAN
At the end of 2011, the Company had 56 factories and 96 warehouses under development plan.
The Company might have to carry the development cost even if such factories and warehouses
cannot be leased out.
The Company believes that the risk can be controlled. The Company intends to maintain only
a few available factories/warehouses in each location. In the event that the numbers of available
factories/warehouses exceeds what is required, the construction will be slowed down. With its own
construction team, the Company can manage construction effectively, including speed and
flexibility, to transfer workers to other active locations.
9. RISK RELATED TO OBJECTION FROM THAILAND EQUITY FUND IN ISSUINGSECURITIES TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS WITH COST
In the event that the Company has a plan to issue any new securities for existing shareholders
with cost and Thailand Equity Fund (“TEF”) disagree with the plan, Mr. Chali Sophonpanich,
Mr. Direk Vinichbutr, and Mr. Wei Cheng Kuan will object to such plan and will try their best to
convince other major shareholders, i.e. City Villa Co., Ltd., Sathorn City Tower Property Fund,
Riverside Garden Marina Co., Ltd., and Rojana Industrial Park Public Co., Ltd. to follow their
decisions, according to the Shareholders’ Agreement with TEF.
In this regard, the Company believes that as long as the plan benefits the shareholders, TEF will
support the Company’s decision as usual.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
1. OPERATING RESULTS
1.1 Revenues
Rental and related service income is the Company’s main income. Over the past three years,
rental and related service income, as compared with total revenues, were approximately 32.9
percent, 29.0 percent and 41.3 percent, respectively. However, income from sales of properties
to TFUND/TLOGIS was the major portion of total revenues, representing 62.2 percent, 59.2
percent and 44.3 percent, respectively. The purpose of sales of properties to the funds is to
fund the Company’s business expansion in response to continuous growing demand for lease.
In some periods, the Company had income from sales of factories to tenants, most of which
were under options to buy as specified in the lease contracts. The sales of factories to tenants
are unpredictable and depending upon tenants’ decisions.
The Company had income relating to TFUND and TLOGIS, including share of profit from
investment, property management fee, and realized additional gain on sales of properties. The
said revenues vary in accordance with both funds’ assets size.
Besides, the Company had revenues from construction services and utility income. These
incomes were a small portion of total revenues.
1.1.1 Rental and services income
Over the past three years, rental and services income were Baht 809.2 million, Baht
850.9 million and Baht 880.2 million, respectively. Cost of rental and services for such
periods were Baht 198.5 million, Baht 194.5 million and Baht 248.1 million, respectively.
Rental and services income decreased by 0.3 percent in 2009, but increased by 5.1
percent and 3.5 percent in 2010 and 2011, respectively. In 2011, such income
increased continuously due to the growing demand in factories and warehouses for rent
since 2010, even with the flood effect in October and November in many provinces,
including Ayudhya and Pathumthani, where almost half of TICON’s factories and
warehouses are located. The floods stopped tenants’ operations, resulted in the
Company’s loss of rental and services income of Baht 100.7 million in Q4/2011. Rent
collections will be resumed once the damaged factories/warehouses are restored and
back in production. Since January 2012, some of the tenants have recommenced
paying rent to the Company.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
67
1.1.2 Income from sales of properties to property funds
Over the past three years, the Company had income from sales of properties to TFUND
and TLOGIS of Baht 1,530.0 million, Baht 1,737.7 million and Baht 943.5 million,
respectively, representing a 30.6 percent decrease, 13.6 percent increase and 45.7
percent decrease, respectively.
The increase in such income in 2010 resulted from the Company’s higher capital
requirement for its business expansion, in response to the economic recovery.
In 2011, income from the sales dropped from the previous year, as a result of the
postponement of the second-tranche sales planned for December 2011. Only the sales
to TLOGIS, amounting to Baht 943.5 million, happened in September 2011.
However, sales of properties to property funds each year depend on the Company’s
funding needs for its business expansion.
1.1.3 Income from sales of properties to tenants
In 2010, the Company had income from sales of 2 factories to tenants amounting to
Baht 82.1 million and sales of land to a tenant amounting to Baht 75.1 million. In 2011,
the Company sold 2 factories with the selling price of Baht 133.0 million in total.
Sales to tenants do not occur regularly, depending on tenants’ decisions on exercising
options to buy set as a condition in lease agreements. The gross margin of the sale
varies by age, size, specification and location of the factories.
1.1.4 Income relating to associated companies (TFUND and TLOGIS)
1) Share of profit from investment in TFUND and TLOGIS, under the equity method,
which depends on TICON’s stake in both funds, as well as the funds’ profit.
Over the past three years, the Company has had a share of profit from investment
in associated companies under the equity method of Baht 158.7 million, Baht
168.6 million and Baht 160.8 million, respectively, representing a 83.3 percent and
6.2 percent increase, and 4.6 percent decrease, each year. The rising in the share
of profit resulted from an increase in assets under management of the funds, and
the Company’s greater stake in the funds. However, the share of profit in 2011
reduced from the year before due to the effect of the floods, which led to lower
TFUND’s and TLOGIS’s rents. Without the floods, the share of profit would have
ANNUALREPORT
2011
68
increased, as can be seen from the amount of Baht 142.0 million for the first nine
months of 2011, growing from Baht 124.1 million for the same period of 2010.
2) Income from management of properties for TFUND and TLOGIS
Over the past three years, the Company has had property management fees of
Baht 77.7 million, Baht 107.5 million, and Baht 113.4 million, respectively. Such
income should be higher in the future, due to the Company’s policy in offering
properties for sales to both funds regularly.
3) Gain on sales of investment in associated companies
In 2009, the Company sold 3.5 million units of its investment in TFUND, so as to
reduce its investment portion to be in compliance with the relevant regulations.
The Company posted a loss on sales of Baht 2.3 million, recorded as a part of
administrative expenses. In addition, the Company sold another 1 million units of
its investment in TLOGIS, with a gain on sales of Baht 0.2 million, recorded as a
part of other income.
In 2010, the Company sold 42.6 million units of its investment in TFUND. Baht 28
million gain on sales was recorded as a part of other income.
In 2011, the Company sold 2.85 million units of its investment in TLOGIS with a
gain on sales of Baht 2 million, recorded as a part of other income.
4) Realized additional gain on sales of properties to TFUND/TLOGIS
A gain may occur when TFUND/TLOGIS sell factories/warehouses acquired from
the Company to a third party, or when the Company reduces its stake in
TFUND/TLOGIS.
In 2010 and 2011, the Company had such gains of Baht 38.9 million and Baht 3.5
million, respectively. Most of them were from the reductions of the Company’s
stake in TFUND/TLOGIS. In 2011, the Company reduced its stake in the funds in
a lower portion than in 2010.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
69
1.1.5 Other Income
In addition to the income mentioned above, the Company had other income as follows:
1. Income from construction/modification work which was generated from the
Company’s provision of such work requested by tenants.
2. Utilities income which was generated from the provision of temporary utilities for
tenants whilst they were waiting for permanent supplies from the utilities suppliers.
The Company normally has not sought profit from providing such services to tenants.
1.2 Expenses
1.2.1 Selling and administrative expenses
Over the past three years, selling and administrative expenses were Baht 266.5 million,
Baht 294.7 million and Baht 326.0 million, respectively, representing a 1.9 percent, 10.6
percent, and 10.6 percent increase each year.
The major portion of selling and administrative expenses were employee relating
expenses (including salary, bonus, welfare, travelling, vehicle and training), operating
expenses (including office rental and utilities), management benefit expenses, and
depreciation of vacant factories/warehouses.
In 2011, selling and administrative expenses rose Baht 31.4 million from the previous
year, representing a 10.6 percent increase. The main reason was the change in
recording of the depreciation of leased factories and warehouses affected by the floods
from cost of rental and services to selling and administrative expenses. In addition, the
Company had higher sales commission expenses, following the increase in number of
its tenants. Besides, the Company had repair and maintenance expenses for flooded
factories/warehouses, and provision for employee benefits expense according to
TAS19 - Employee Benefits.
ANNUALREPORT
2011

1.2.2 Finance Cost
Over the past three years, finance cost were Baht 293.8 million, Baht 261.4 million and
Baht 267.2 million, respectively, representing a 10.3 percent increase, 11.0 percent
decrease and 2.2 percent increase, respectively.
Interest expenses were the significant element of finance cost, representing 98.8
percent. The rest were expenses in relation to the provision for financing.
In 2010, even with more borrowing, interest expenses decreased from 2009. The
reason was that in that year the Company funded its operations mostly by issuing
debentures with coupon rate fixed below the interest rate of traditional long-term loans.
In 2011, interest expenses increased from the previous year due to the Company
borrowing more to acquire additional land in several strategic locations, and developing
more factories/ warehouses.
1.2.3 Allowance for impairment loss on assets
In 2011, the Company recorded Baht 15.4 million allowance for impairment loss on
investment properties under development affected by the floods in late 2011, included
in other expenses.
1.3 Profit
1.3.1 Gross profit Margin
The Company had gross profit margin from its operations - rental and sales - over the
past three years of 46.5 percent, 54.5 percent and 51.5 percent, respectively.
Gross margin from rental and sales of warehouses are lower than for factories. The
sales of only warehouses to TLOGIS in 2009, without any sales of factories, in addition
to the growth of leasing out warehouses in 2009, and the sales of factories to TFUND in
2010, without any sales of warehouses, resulted in a lower gross margin in 2009 and a
higher gross margin in 2010.
In 2011, the gross margin from operations reduced from the previous year, since the
Company had sales of warehouses to TLOGIS while it had no sales of factories to
TFUND. Moreover, the 2011 gross margin from rental was also lower, due to the loss of
rental and related service income as a result of the floods in the fourth quarter, as well
ANNUALREPORT
2011
71
as some repair and maintenance expenses for factories and warehouses affected by
the floods.
1.3.2 Net profit Margin
Over the past three years, the Company’s net profit under the equity method, presented
in consolidated financial statements, was Baht 653.3 million, Baht 821.1 million and
Baht 436.4 million, respectively. Earnings per share were Baht 0.99, Baht 1.22 and
Baht 0.57, respectively. Its net profit margins were 26.6 percent, 28.0 percent and 20.5
percent, respectively.
In 2010, the Company’s net profit increased by Baht 167.8 million from the previous
year due to growth in rental and related service income, sales of properties to property
funds, and management fee from the funds, as well as the share of income from
investments in the funds. Moreover, the Company had income from sales of properties
to tenants, realized additional gain on sales of properties to TFUND, and gain on sales
of investment in TFUND, while it had no such income in 2009.
In 2011, the Company’s net profit declined by Baht 384.7 million, representing a 46.9
percent decrease from the previous year. The main reasons were the reduction in
income from sales of properties to property funds, as well as its reduced gross margin.
In addition, there was a drop in gross margin from rental affected by the floods, a
decrease in realized additional gain on sales of properties to TFUND and TLOGIS, an
increase in selling and administrative expenses, as well as the allowance for
impairment loss on investment properties, as already mentioned. Furthermore, the
Company had an additional corporate income tax of Baht 72.0 million as a result of the
adjustment in deferred tax calculation, details of which are provided in item no. 2.1.6
(Deferred tax assets).
2. FINANCIAL STATUS
2.1 Assets
At the end of 2011, the Company had total assets of Baht 15,288.7 million. 71.9 percent of the
assets were land and factory/warehouse buildings, comprising land and factories/warehouses
under development and available for rent, accounted for 30.6 percent of total assets, and land
and leased factories/warehouses, accounted for 41.3 percent of total assets.
The Company’s total assets rose by Baht 2,804.1 million, a 22.5 percent increase from the
previous year. This mainly resulted from the substantial increase in factories/warehouses
ANNUALREPORT
2011
72
development, as well as land acquisition in several strategic locations, to respond to increased
demand.
2.1.1 Property under development / available for rent / for rent
During the past three years, the Company had property under development, available
for rent, and property for rent totaling Baht 8,683.0 million, Baht 9,170.7 million, and
Baht 11,497.3 million, respectively. Those in 2010 and 2011 included Baht 507.5 million
property under development recorded as property, plant and equipment.
The 5.6 percent increase in the properties - net of those sold to TFUND - in 2010 was
due mainly to more development of factories/warehouses to serve growing demand.
The reduction in the properties in 2009 - net of those sold to TLOGIS - resulted from
the slowdown of the construction during the economic crisis started in 2008.
At the end of 2011, such properties - net of those sold to TLOGIS - grew by 25.4
percent, as a result of more development of factories/warehouses in response to higher
demand, especially demand for logistics warehouses as distribution centers for
consumer products and auto parts. In addition, the Company acquired land in several
strategic locations to accommodate its business expansion, particularly in the eastern
part of Thailand. Besides, the Company made less sales to property fund during the
year.
2.1.2 Current investments
At the end of 2011, the Company had current investments of Baht 950 million,
increased by Baht 102.6 million, or 12.1 percent.
All current investments as at December 31, 2011 were Bills of Exchange issued by
domestic commercial banks, considered as low risk. Such investment is a good
alternative for the Company to manage its cash. Also, it provides the Company with
higher returns than those from savings deposits.
2.1.3 Accounts receivable - net
At the end of 2011, the Company had net accounts receivable of Baht 98.0 million,
rising by Baht 71.5 million. This mainly resulted from a Baht 45.1 million increase in
unbilled operating leases receivables, which were recorded from the difference
between average rental fees per month throughout lease agreements and the actual
rental fees. Such receivables rose in accordance with the greater numbers of lease
ANNUALREPORT
2011
73
agreements. The higher trade accounts receivable of Baht 26.4 million, resulted from
the flood effect incident, and was also included in the accounts receivable.
However, the Company has a policy of holding security deposits of three to six months
rental and service fee to help mitigating risks that could arise in the future.
2.1.4 Pledged fixed deposit
At the end of 2011, the Company had a fixed deposit of Baht 40.4 million. The deposit
has been pledged with a bank as collateral for facilities, comprising letters of credit and
trust receipts (together with pre-settlement risk lines) as well as letters of guarantees
issued in favor of a government entity, state enterprises and private companies.
2.1.5 Investment
At the end of 2011, TICON had investments in subsidiaries, associated and related
companies as follows:

million, representing 0.3 percent of the Company’s total assets.
b. Investment in TICON Logistics Park Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary) of 100 percent of its

e. Investment in TPARK Logistics Property Fund (an associated company) of 20.43

assets, and the investment amount under the cost method was Baht 509.3 million,
or 3.3 percent of the Company’s total assets.
f. Investment in Bangkok Club Co., Ltd. (a related company) of 0.11 percent of its
registered capital, with the investment amount net of allowance for impairment of
Baht 0.26 million.
2.1.6 Deferred tax assets
At the end of 2011, the Company had deferred tax assets of Baht 202.1 million, most of
which related to corporate income tax entitlement in respect of unrealized gain from
sales of properties to TFUND/TLOGIS.
Corporate income tax relating to the gain on sales recorded in the Company’s income
statements excluded a certain amount of the tax at the same percentage as TICON’s
stake in TFUND/TLOGIS, even where the full amount of the tax was already paid in
cash. The difference between the tax paid in cash and the tax recorded in the income
statements was the deferred tax assets. In the event that the Company realizes
additional gain on sales of properties to TFUND/TLOGIS, the deferred tax assets will
be reduced proportionately.
In December 2011, the government issued a Royal Decree in relation to the corporate
income tax reduction. The Company will benefit from the reduction in the tax rate from
30 percent to 23 percent in 2012, and then to 20 percent from 2013-2014. The
Company reflected such changes in its deferred tax calculation which led to additional
corporate income tax of Baht 72.0 million. However, the adjustment was made in
accordance with accounting principle, and has not affected the Company’s cash flow.
2.1.7 Deposit for land acquisition
At the end of 2011, the Company had a deposit for land acquisition of Baht 261.1
million. The deposit was paid according to agreements to purchase land from sellers.
2.2 Liabilities
At the end of 2011, the Company had total liabilities of Baht 9,548.5 million, increased by Baht
2,660.9 million, or 38.6 percent, from those of 2010.
The majority of total liabilities were loans (including debentures), representing 74.9 percent of
total liabilities. The increase in total liabilities resulted from the following elements:
ANNUALREPORT
2011
75
2.2.1 Loans
Total loans at the end of 2011 were Baht 8,756.6 million, increased by Baht 2,583.4
million, or 41.8 percent, from 2010. This substantial increase was due mainly to the
Company’s greater construction and land acquisition programs.
The Company’s total loans comprised short-term loans of 18.4 percent, long-term loans
of 11.4 percent, and debentures of 70.2 percent.
Cash flow from operations and long-term loans, as well as debentures, are the
Company’s source of funds for factory/warehouse development which is considered as
a long-term investment. The Company likewise uses short-term loans facilities for
working capital, particularly for land acquisition during the period of applying for long-
term credit lines from financial institutions. However, the large amount of short-term
loans outstanding at any point of time depends mainly on the Company’s cash flow
management. The Audit Committee has regularly monitored the appropriateness of the
ratio of short-term to total loans.
During the past three years, the Company issued debentures totaling Baht 6,150
million. At the end of 2011, the outstanding balance of the debentures was Baht 6,150
million. All debentures’ tenors ranged from 3 to 7 years. The total proceeds were used
for the Company’s business expansion and repayment of some portion of loans.
The Company has agreements with some financial institutions and debenture holders
in respect of retaining debt to equity of not exceeding 2.5 times.
2.2.2 Accounts Payable
At the end of 2011, the Company had accounts payable of Baht 249.4 million. 93.0
percent of total accounts payable related to the Company’s construction.
Accounts payable increased by Baht 136.5 million from the previous year, due to the
Company’s growth in factory/warehouse development during the year.
2.2.3 Provision for long-term employee benefits
At the end of 2011, the Company had Baht 18.9 million provision for long-term
employee benefits which was the estimation of the Company’s obligation to
compensate employees on their retirement.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
76
For the first-time adoption of TAS19 - Employee Benefits, the Company chose to
recognize the transitional liability by way of recording accumulated amount until the end
of 2010 through an adjustment to the beginning balance of its 2011 retained earnings,
and recording provision for employee benefits in 2011 as expenses.
2.2.4 Corporate income tax payable
At the end of 2011, the Company had corporate income tax payable of Baht 24.9
million, decreased by Baht 204.2 million, or 89.1 percent, from the previous year. This
resulted from the reduction in income from sales of properties to property funds. In
addition, the Company has benefited from tax exemption on some portions of profit
from sales of warehouses to TLOGIS in September.
2.3 Shareholders’ Equity
At the end of 2011, the Company had shareholders’ equity of Baht 5,740.2 million, increased by
Baht 143.2 million, representing a 2.6 percent increase from the previous year. The
shareholders’ equity rose marginally as a result of the reduction in retained earnings due to a
high dividend payment during the year, which offset a certain portion of the increase in paid-up
capital due to the exercises of TICON-W4 and the 2011 net profit which was lower than
2010’s.
2.4 Appropriateness of the Company’s Capital Structure
In the past, the Company’s main sources of funds for factories and warehouses development
were operating cash flow, shareholders’ capital injection and loans from financial institutions.
However, with its strong growth during the past 6-7 years, the Company participated in
establishing TFUND in 2005 and TLOGIS in 2009 in order to increase its abilities in raising
more funds. Proceeds from sales of properties to these property funds each year help reduce
reliance on loan borrowing and capital increase.
In addition, during the past 4-5 years the Company has issued debentures with tenors of 3 to 7
years. Issuing debentures is another important source of funds for the Company.
However, with the strong growth of business, the Company foresaw a higher debt to equity
ratio in the next few years, in the absence of raising new capital. In 2009, the Company
therefore decided to issue 219,353,636 warrants (TICON-W3) and 109,677,073 warrants
(TICON-W4) to existing shareholders and 32,883,000 warrants (TICON-W5) to the directors
and employees. In the event that all warrants are exercised in full, the Company shall receive
proceeds of approximately Baht 5,528 million in total.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
77
At the end of 2011, the Company had a debt to equity ratio of 1.66 to 1.
2.5 Liquidity
In 2011, the Company had net cash received from operations amounting to Baht 965.9 million,
net cash used for investment of Baht 2,963.7 million, and net cash received from financing of
Baht 2,301.4 million.
The information as mentioned above shows that the Company has sufficient liquidity for its
operations each year as planned. (A low current ratio does not reflect the Company’s liquidity.
Most of TICON’s assets are land and factory buildings which are not classified as current
assets, whereas accounts payable for the acquisition of land and construction are considered
as current liabilities.)
In 2011, the Company had an interest coverage ratio, calculated from:
Net profit+Interest expenses+Corporate income tax+Deferred gain on sales of properties to associated companies
Interest expenses
and a debt service coverage ratio, calculated from:
Net cash flows from operating activities+Interest expenses
Repayment of long-term loans and debentures+Dividend paid+Interest expenses
of 3.62 times and 0.43 times, respectively. However, an interest coverage ratio in 2011,
equaling 3.62 times, reflected the Company’s high ability to service its finance cost. The
Company has never defaulted on any interest payment. However, in 2011, both ratios
decreased from the previous year due to lower revenues from sales of properties to property
funds.

Report of Independent Auditor
To the Shareholders of TICON Industrial Connection Public Company Limited
I have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of TICON Industrial
Connection Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2011 and 2010, the related
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash
flows for the years then ended, and have also audited the separate financial statements of TICON
Industrial Connection Public Company Limited for the same years. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of the Company and its subsidiaries as to their correctness and the
completeness of the presentation. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards
require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my
opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of TICON Industrial Connection Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and of
TICON Industrial Connection Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2011 and 2010, and the results
of their operations, and cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Without qualifying my opinion on the aforementioned financial statements, I draw attention to Note 3 to
the financial statements. During the current year, the Company adopted a number of revised and new
accounting standards as issued by the Federation of Accounting Professions, and applied them in the
preparation and presentation of its financial statements.

provision for post-employment benefits using actuarial techniques. The Company and its
subsidiaries previously accounted for such employee benefits when they were incurred.
The Company and its subsidiaries have changed this accounting policy in the current year and
recognise the liability in the transition period through an adjustment to the beginning balance of
retained earnings in the current year. The change has the effect of decreasing the profit of the
Company and its subsidiaries for the year 2011 by Baht 3 million, (0.003 Baht per share) (Separate
financial statements: decreasing profit by Baht 2 million, or 0.003 Baht per share). The cumulative
effect of the changes in the accounting policy has been presented in Note 5 to the financial
statements.

4. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED DURING THE YEARS NOT YETEFFECTIVE
The Federation of Accounting Professions issued the following new/revised accounting standards
that are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
Accounting standards:
TAS 12 Income Taxes
TAS 20 (revised 2009) Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of
Government Assistance
TAS 21 (revised 2009) The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
Accounting Standard Interpretations:
SIC 10 Government Assistance - No Specific Relation to Operating Activities
SIC 21 Income Taxes - Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets
SIC 25 Income Taxes - Changes in the Tax Status of an Entity or its Shareholders
The Company’s management believes that these accounting standards will not have any
significant impact on the financial statements for the year when they are initially applied.
5. CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY DUE TO THEADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
During the current year, the Company and its subsidiaries changed its significant accounting
policy, described in Note 3 to the financial statements, as a result of the adoption of revised and
new accounting standards. The change in this accounting policy has the effect of decreasing the
beginning balance of consolidated retained earnings by Baht 11 million (Separate financial
statements: decreasing retained earnings by Baht 10 million), net of deferred tax assets of Baht 5
million (Separate financial statements: Baht 4 million). The cumulative effect of the change in the
accounting policy has been separately presented in the statements of changes in shareholders’
equity.

6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
6.1 Revenue recognition
Sales
Sales are recognised in full when the Company has transferred the significant risks and
rewards of ownership to the buyer.
Rental and related service income
Rental and related service income are recognised as revenue in profit and loss on a straight
line basis over the lease term. The recognised revenue which is not yet due per the
operating lease agreements has been presented under the caption of “Unbilled operating
leases receivables” at the end of reporting period.
Revenues from construction services
Revenues from construction services are recognised based on percentage of completion
method. The percentage of completion measured by the proportion of actual development
costs incurred up to the end of the period and the total anticipated development cost to be
incurred to completion.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised when the right to receive the dividends is established.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis based on the effective interest rate.
6.2 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand, cash at banks, and all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less and not subject to withdrawal
restrictions.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
96
6.3 Trade accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the net realisable value. Allowance for doubtful
accounts is provided for the estimated losses that may be incurred in the collection of
receivables. The allowance is generally based on collection experience and analysis of debt
aging.
6.4 Investments
a) Investments in debt securities, both due within one year and expected to be held to
maturity, are recorded at amortised cost. The premium/discount on debt securities is
amortised/accreted by the effective rate method with the amortised/accreted amount
presented as an adjustment to the interest income.
b) Investments in non-marketable equity securities, which the Company classifies as other
investments, are stated at cost net of allowance for loss on diminution in value (if any).
c) Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements
using the equity method.
d) Investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for in the separate financial
statements using the cost method.
The weighted average method is used for computation of the cost of investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the investment is recognised in profit or loss.
6.5 Investment properties
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent
to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and allowance for loss on impairment (if any).
Depreciation of investment properties is calculated by reference to their costs on the straight-
line basis over estimated useful lives of 20 years. Depreciation of the investment properties
is included in determining income.
On disposal of investment properties, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period when the asset is
derecognised.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
97
6.6 Property plant and equipment/depreciation
Land is stated cost. Buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and allowance for loss on impairment of assets (if any).
Depreciation of buildings and equipment is calculated by reference to their costs on the
straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 20 years
Land improvement 20 years
Others 5 years
Depreciation is included in determining income.
No depreciation is provided on land and construction in progress.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of
an asset is included in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
6.7 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an
asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or
sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs
are expensed in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other
costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
6.8 Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired intangible assets are measured at cost. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any
accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a systematic basis over the economic
useful life and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset
may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method of such intangible
assets are reviewed at least at each financial year end. The amortisation expense is
charged to profit and loss.
ANNUALREPORT
2011

A summary of the intangible assets with finite useful lives is as follows:
Useful lives

6.9 Related party transactions
Related parties comprise enterprises and individuals that control, or are controlled by, the
Company, whether directly or indirectly, or which are under common control with the
Company.
They also include associated companies and individuals which directly or indirectly own a
voting interest in the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company, key
management personnel, directors, and officers with authority in the planning and direction of
the Company’s operations.
6.10 Long-term agreement
The Company and its subsidiaries as a lessor.
Leases which the Company and its subsidiaries transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Amounts due from leasees under
financial leases are recorded as receivables at the amount of the Company and its
subsidiaries’ net investment in leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting
periods to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company and its subsidiaries’ net
investment outstanding in respect of the leases.
Lease of assets not transferred a significant portion of risks and rewards of ownership to
lessee are classified as operating leases. Operating lease income is recognised in profit
and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
6.11 Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Baht at the exchange rate ruling at the
date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into Baht at the exchange rate ruling at the end of reporting period.
Gains and losses on exchange are included in determining income.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
99
6.12 Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company performs impairment reviews in respect
of the property, plant and equipment or intangible assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised
when the recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of the asset’s fair value less
costs to sell and its value in use, is less than the carrying amount. In determining value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate
valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by a valuation model that,
based on information available, reflects the amount that the Company could obtain from the
disposal of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties,
after deducting the costs of disposal.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss.
6.13 Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Salaries, wages, bonuses and contributable to the social security fund are recognised as
expenses when incurred.
Post-employment benefits
Defined contribution plans
The Company and its employees have jointly established a provident fund. The fund is monthly
contributed by employees and by the Company. The fund’s assets are held in a separate trust
fund and the Company’s contributions are recognised as expenses when incurred.
Defined benefit plans
The Company has obligations in respect of the severance payments it must make to
employees upon retirement under labor law. The Company treats these severance payment
obligations as a defined benefit plan.
The obligation under the defined benefit plan is determined by a professionally qualified
independent actuary based on actuarial techniques, using the projected unit credit method.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
100
Actuarial gains and losses arising from post-employment benefits are recognized
immediately in profit and loss.
For the first-time adoption of TAS 19 Employee Benefits, the Company elected to recognise
the transitional liability, which exceeds the liability that would have been recognised at the
same date under the previous accounting policy, through an adjustment to the beginning
balance of retained earnings in the current year.
6.14 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation.
6.15 Income tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of corporate income tax currently payable and
deferred tax.
Current tax
Current income tax is provided in the accounts at the amount expected to be paid to the
taxation authorities, based on taxable profits determined in accordance with tax legislation.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts at the end of each reporting period, using the tax
rates enacted at the end of the reporting period.
The Company recognises deferred tax liabilities for all taxable temporary differences while it
recognises deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences and tax losses
carried forward to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which such deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward can be
utilized.
At each reporting date, the Company reviews and reduces the carrying amount of deferred
tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
ANNUALREPORT

The Company records deferred tax directly to shareholders' equity if the tax relates to items
that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity.
7. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
at times requires management to make subjective judgments and estimates regarding matters that
are inherently uncertain. These judgments and estimates affect reported amounts and disclosures,
and actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant judgments and estimates are as
follows:
Leases
In determining whether a lease is to be classified as an operating lease or finance lease, the
management is required to use judgment regarding whether significant risk and rewards of
ownership of the leased asset have been transferred, taking into consideration terms and
conditions of the arrangement.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
In determining an allowance for doubtful accounts, the management needs to make judgement and
estimates based upon, among other things, past collection history, aging profile of outstanding
debts and the prevailing economic condition.
Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of financial instruments that are not actively traded and for which
quoted market prices are not readily available, the management exercise judgment, using a variety
of valuation techniques and models. The input to these models is taken from observable markets,
and includes consideration of liquidity, correlation and longer-term volatility of financial instruments.
Impairment of securities investments
The Company treats available-for-sale investments and other investments as impaired when there
has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below their cost or where other
objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged”
requires judgment of the management.
ANNUALREPORT
2011
102
Impairment of investment in subsidiaries and associates
The Company treats investment in subsidiaries and associates as impaired when there has been a
significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below their cost or where other objective evidence
of impairment exists. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgement
of the management.
Investment properties for rent/sale, Investment properties for rent, and property plant andequipment/ depreciation
In determining depreciation of Investment properties available for rent/sale, Investment properties
for rent, and plant and equipment, the management is required to make estimates of the useful
lives and residual values of the Company’s Investment properties available for rent/sale,
Investment properties for rent, and plant and equipment and to review estimate useful lives and
residual values when there are any changes.
In addition, the management is required to review property available for rent/sale, property for rent,
and property, plant and equipment for impairment on a periodical basis and record impairment
losses in the period when it is determined that their recoverable amount is lower than the carrying
amount. This requires judgments regarding forecast of future revenues and expenses relating to
the assets subject to the review.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of temporary differences only to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which these differences can be utilized.
Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that
can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of estimate future profits.
Post-employment benefits under defined benefit plans
The obligation under the defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial techniques. Such
determination is made based on various assumptions, including discount rate, future salary
increase rate, mortality rate and staff turnover rate.

29. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit for the year attributable to equity holders of
the Company (excluding other comprehensive income) by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit for the year attributable to equity holders
of the Company (excluding other comprehensive income) by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares
which would need to be issued to convert all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The calculation assumes that the conversion took place either at the beginning of the year or on
the date the potential ordinary shares were issued.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

34. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
34.1 Financial risk management
The Company’s financial instruments, as defined under Thai Accounting Standard No. 107
“Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentations”, principally comprise cash and cash
equivalents, current investments, trade and other receivable, unbilled operating leases
receivables, loans to, investments, short-term loans, long-term loans and debentures. The
financial risk associated with these financial instruments and how they are managed is
described below.
Credit risk
The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk primarily from trade with
counterparties involving the rental/sale of factories, warehouses and construction services.
However, due to the large number and diversity of entities comprising the customer base,
and their business conduct policy, the Company and its subsidiaries do not anticipate
material losses from its debt collection. The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the
carrying amounts of receivables as stated in the statements of financial position.
Interest rate risk
The Company and subsidiaries’ exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its cash at
banks, bank overdrafts, long-term borrowings and debentures. However, since most of the
Company and subsidiaries’ financial assets and liabilities bear floating interest rates or fixed
rates which are close to the market rate, the interest rate risk is expected to be minimal.
Significant financial assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2011 classified by type of
interest rates are summarised in the table below, with those financial assets and liabilities
that carry fixed interest rates further classified based on the maturity date, or the repricing
date if this occurs before the maturity date.

considers appropriate. Generally, the forward contracts mature within one year.

term in nature or bear floating interest rates, their fair value is not expected to be materially
different from the amounts presented in the statements of financial position.
A fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged or a liability settled between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The fair value is determined by
reference to the market price of the financial instrument or by using an appropriate valuation
